Podcast 1: Broken to Badass
Dear Readers- My Stories are through my perspective. My stories are filled with broken pieces, terrible choices, ugly people and the truth. They are also filled with comebacks, peace and grace. All Podcasts episodes will be available soon on all podcasts apps. Podcasts for Apple and Spotify included. I am extremely proud of this project and to be given this opportunity to finally give BrokenGirl a voice. I feel blessed to continue this journey here in this crazy fucked up version we call, “LIFE”. However, being able to bring light to mental health and helping those find closure in their own healing process has given me a gift that I…

Do You Know Your EQ?
Have you ever been put in a position where you had to express your emotions and you found yourself either: A. shutting down, or B. filtering them out? If you chose “A”, you might have a lower EQ, and if you chose “B”, you might have a higher EQ. Your Emotional Intelligence (EQ) “is the ability to identify, use, understand, and manage emotions in an effective and positive way. A high EQ helps individuals to communicate better, reduce their anxiety and stress, defuse conflicts, improve relationships, empathize with others, and effectively overcome life’s challenges” (Durlofsky). Recently, I was struggling with self doubt and my own feelings of self worth. When…

Devil’s Advocate: The Curse of May
“Guilt is like a bag of fucking bricks. All you have to do is put it down.” -John Milton in the Devil’s Advocate– As they say, “The length of your grieving time is measured by how much you deeply loved.” There’s nothing worse than dealing with severe depression. It’s easy to get lost in those feelings and emotions, which seem to just leave you numb. I’ve been having some trouble lately expressing myself because I’ve lacked a certain depth of attunement within myself. I’ve found myself in a frozen state. I’ve unfortunately put myself in a situation where I am disconnected with my children, friends, family, and work. I can’t…

The Freak Show
I have frustratingly reached that point (again…really?) where I am feeling defeated, disrespected, discarded, and absolutely powerless. I’ve thought of a hundred if not a thousand of different ways how to handle this situation. I never realized how many of those options you can play out in your head in just the span of a single thought. So, I decided to do what I do best. USE MY WORDS! Now, I have been labeled as manipulative because of my ability to articulate my feelings. I don’t feel the need to apologize for using my intellect. The stories I am about to tell you all are all true and through my perspective. If…

What Not to Do When Trying to Attract Women
We’ve all been there. you’re out and you see a beautiful woman who you want to meet. You get nervous, tongue tied, and can’t figure out an original way to introduce yourself. So, what do you do? There’s a ton of dating advice out there, most of it involves playing some bullshit game. You need to “neg” her, or be the “peacock” who stands out from the crowd. So many of these dating gurus make their mint on finding new ways to get guys to trick women into thinking they are this image of the perfect, confident man. The problem? It’s all games. Sure those things might work on someone…

Through the Looking Glass of a 5150
There’s no need pretending that life is perfect. We tend to want to box up our problems and then only lift a corner to peek inside every once in a while. We never unpack them, or, if we do, they come out all at once and it’s usually not a healthy process. Why are people so afraid of their feelings? It’s almost like we are unable to open up and say out loud, “yes, that hurt me.” I don’t think that is a bad thing at all. In fact, I think people should be encouraged to learn how to communicate their emotions in a healthy way. All too often people…

The Hidden Truth Behind Unconditional Love.
The Hidden Truth Behind Unconditional Love. I’ve received countless emails about my healing process. “What did you do to heal? ” is always the question. I never know how to answer this question. For me, I don’t think I’m completely healed. I don’t think I’ll ever be 100% healed. I will forever walk with these scars. I know it’s not the answer most of you that are looking for that ‘quick fix’ you want to hear. Trust me when I say, I woke up each morning praying that today might be that day God was going to heal my broken heart. It was that slow burn that was fuckin’ killing…

For the Love of Porn
porn…so much controversy surrounding the topic. sex, in general, is still a taboo subject for so many people. It’s ironic, really, that our society glorifies violence but shuns sex. Little Timmy can watch 100 hours of violent images but, god forbid, a titty pops up on the screen. That’s when all hell breaks loose. Let’s face it, we are still primal in certain aspects, and we are born to breed. For men, they have thousands of years of history that tells them to spread their seed as far and wide as possible. Why do we try to ignore this fact? Anyone with a teenage son knows they are a ball…
